Why does this deserve a Zot?

It's not a news item, it's a copy of a complaint letter from a foreign national with a visa problem (BTW, Bolivian nationals don't need transit visas, so I don't know why this guy is applying for one) What will we be posting next, parking ticket appeals?

(Actually, it probably doesn't deserve a zot, it just deserves to be pulled)

You are totally wrong, all Bolivian nationals need a transit visa to merely connect through the USA on international flights.
